    I'm actually thinking of heading to Shenzhen in a few days.

            If you've never been to Shenzhen, it's best not to go. Once you're there, reality will quickly humble you.

              Well, I didn't exactly get 'humbled.' I stayed. When you're young, you should be full of energy, venture out and take risks. Even if you fail, at least when you're older, you won't feel like your whole life was predictable from the start.

                  I interviewed with an operations company at Mingteng Center. They offered 3000 for the first month, including food and lodging, then 6000 after the probation period. However, they mentioned there would be deductions later, a few hundred RMB each month, but wouldn't specify the exact amount when I asked. All they said was they wanted me for a trial period. It feels pretty sketchy.

                    It's my second day in Guangdong, and I've started a trial job. I cried on my first day here, cried that night, and cried again last night. I'm not even that tired, I just feel like crying.

                        Don't go back! Your hometown is the real trap. Focus on your career in Shenzhen, find a boyfriend, and build a life together. It's much more comfortable here than back home. The tricky part about hometowns is dealing with all the complex relationships and people's hidden agendas.

                          I've consulted several fortune tellers. Some advised me to head east, others north, but they all agreed I shouldn't stay in the South. They said even if I do stay here, my career will just be mediocre, with no significant improvement.

                            I'm also looking for e-commerce jobs, and the salaries are ridiculously low.

                                Honey, if anyone in Shenzhen is giving you trouble, just drop my name: 110!
